Oh really, prehaps you'd like to take a look at this photo, rendered
in both browsers, I rest my case :)

(Actually there's another shortfall of V's, this photo was originally
twice as big, but Voyager couldn't display it so I had to halve it)

But I guess in the end it depends what you're looking at, V handles
block colour better, iBrowse handles things like photo's better.

See ya :)
